Henderson (foot) remains uncertain for Sunday's Premier League clash against Brighton, with his availability dependent on upcoming training sessions, according to coach Pierre Sage. "That's why we have to evaluate his chance to come back in the team, and it's the same for the other players. It's not a way to not say it, but for the moment I don't really know. I prefer to wait for the session of today - maybe the one tomorrow too - but for the moment we hope, we expect it, but we don't know."
Analysis:Henderson has missed Crystal Palace's last five matches across all competitions due to injury, including the recent fixtures against Nottingham Forest and Lyon. The goalkeeper had initially been targeting a return for either Thursday's Europa League clash or Sunday's meeting with Brighton, but his availability remains uncertain pending further assessment in training. Walter Benitez is expected to continue in goal if Henderson is unable to return, while the latter should reclaim his starting role once fully fit.
